A REMARKABLE CASE.
John IIenrchs VIII Probably Live With
"A Bullet in His Head.


CINcINNArI, Feb. 2l-John Heinrichs,
the man shot in the head by Albert Beck
during the Sunday night fracas in sa-
loon, was alive and doing well tonight.
The probabilities are that he will recover,
but the bullet can not be removed
from his head The wound is a most
remarkable one. The bullet, which
entered just to the right Of the
nose, ranged straight back, lodging at the
base of the skull, but injuring no vital
parts, Owing TO the danger of probing
for the bullet or endeavoring to extract
it, it will be allowed to remain in Helm
rich's head He is not in the least ncon-
venienced or affected by the presence of
the leadcu missile in his cranur though
he is suffering slightly from the shock oc-
casioncd by the inhicting of the wound,
which is decidedly painful.
